I clicked on this thread thinking it was bound to be another gasser/2LBT clone or a Pro-touring something or other. I was pleasantly suprised ;D  |

I'm loving that, all apart from the flames, which take things a touch to far. Makes it a bit TOO busy I think. The upholstery is bizarre and awesome in equal measure. For some reason the first thing that sprung to mind was Giger.

LOVE it wouldn't change anything except MAYBE the colour of the flame outline, make it a bit darker.
I'm a sucker for a 55 and that is pure WIN

Do you know, the only thing I'd change is the flames for some Giger style airbrushing to match the seats which remind me far too much of Aliens and other Giger artwork, but in a good way.
Edited to add: Ha, just noticed Ratdat said the same thing before me.

I'm another who thought of giger when i saw the interior pics.  |

I have a feeling I ought to be worried that so many of us had the first thought of 'Giger' when looking at anything other than deliberately Giger related stuff.

Its all a bit much. That interior in a plain painted car would work. That paint with a more restrained interior would work. The thing as a whole gives me a bit of a headache.

I don't think the photos do any justice to the interior. They look a bit HDI'ish. Its partly due to the colour the shinier bits are reflecting off the glistening inside of the roof. I bet with a normal headlining in the seats would tone right down a few notches.

Your really getting into 50's yank stuff! Arnt you bizz. (no complaints here mind) I'm liking that, don't mind the flames but I probably wouldn't have done them. Love the headlining tho  |

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy. |

I nearly didn't click on this fearing that the '55 contained within would be somehow predictable (but still nice, Da Bizz never let's us down in that respect!). I'm pleased I clicked it now though.
Personally, I'd like to see a plain gold 'flake roof - the black fades contrast a bit too much for me but overall, but I guess I could live with it as is. My only fear (now) is that everyone would come up to me and say that the interior reminds them of Giger thinking that I'd never heard anyone say it before. I could fit a button on the dash that kept track of the amount of people...a Giger counter.

Your really getting into 50's yank stuff! Arnt you bizz. (no complaints here mind) Ha ha - I'm going through a phase! My wife got me a massive coffee-table book of the history of cars (quite a broad topic, that) for xmas - I've made it as far as the fifties... My only fear (now) is that everyone would come up to me and say that the interior reminds them of Giger thinking that I'd never heard anyone say it before. I could fit a button on the dash that kept track of the amount people...a Giger counter. For that, sir, you win the internet for the day. ;D |

I think that works well. Apart from the rad that nails the period perfectly.
